Please tell us if V3 didn't work for you. Here you can get a test version! (look at the poll)

I'd like to give it a try.  I am a long time user of version 2.4 , but version 3 was not working well for me.  I was getting firewall alerts for the same program every couple of minutes.  I told it several times to remember my answers but I could never get the problem to stop.  Every time that I thought it was fixed, the problem returned the next time I restarted the computer.  I got so frustrated that I went back to 2.4.

Yes please - intermittent .CHM failures and inability to control proxied applications.

I'm interested in an update, v3 takes forever to boot up in Vista. Defender+ seems to be the problem.

Please send me the link. The current version I have installed has some minor quirks such as the GUI dying after a cfpres.dll error, incorrect status in my pending files, tracert does not work with  default rules, 15 second delays before alerts appear when option for on the fly file lookups is enabled, Balloon pop-ups stealing focus and blocking access to alerts......

Please send the update to me as well.  Main issue: 100% CPU Usage.   Thanks, John.

I updated from 2.4 to v3.0 today.
All went well for 1/2 hour, then got all my programs marked as "not a Valid Win32 Application" unable to shut down or reboot - same as some other users.

Restarted in safe mode4, uninstalled v3.0.
Do I have to clean up more traces of the program before reinstalling version 2.4?

If the new version 3.0 beta will fix my problem, please email me a link.
Thanks, Ross

I had issues with:

- Applications disappearing from My Safe Files list;
- NMap being able to scan ports without Comodo's notice;
- Windows Explorer sometimes freezing up when browsing folders with new executables in Clean PC mode.

Please PM me the link.

Probably if Windows Security thinks your FW is still enabled.  Otherwise, I don't think Comodo will allow you to re-install.

Had no problem reinstalling 2.4. (Windows Security was disabled already).

I would like to get a copy too. 8.3 naming format related error = not remembering settings and malfunctioning cleanpc mode on one config.

Alright !! COMODO Team, send it this way !! I loved 2.4, but realize that there are many "bugs" and vunerabilities in it. 2.4 was familiar and 3.0 was daunting for me.

Defense+ is powerful but new, and thank god that it learned most of the information by the 3rd day, or else I might have actually uninstalled 3.0 .... I'll keep 3.0, but if problems continue (if I read more about it on the fourms), I might consider 2.4 again or even Online Armor ... Hope it doesn't come to that...

My main concern right now for V3 is the GUI familiarity and compatibility. Also, strength of the Firewall right out the box WITHOUT the use of Defense+ (I want to be able to pass leaktests without the help of HIPS, just the Firewall by itself). Resource usage is already low, but it won't hurt to be lower. And, prevention of firewall termination ...

Now, problems I found with COMODO V3 Final for me:

- GUI delays in click and graphics (like in installation mode, by the time the display fully loaded, about 3 seconds had already gone by)

- Also GUI problem: don't have Defense+ learning behaviors OVER or UNDER Firewall alerts !! They currently overlap and I couldn't set rules for the programs (as far as I know, the pop-up's under a timer)

- Can't find smart update button where it used to be (why hide it under miscellaneous? I do manual checks to make sure that COMODO Firewall is updated !!)

- Cannot edit rules for programs in a familiar way (like in CFW 2.4, ZoneAlarm, or even Online Armor, the rules are listed on an easy access page with a tab click, and can be easily edited. In 3.0, the rules are buried deep within the program and I don't even see some programs listed that I gave the "remember" option to). Also, try to include the trusted software vendors somewhere around the program rules. Makes more sense to do that.

- COMODO FW 3.0 can still be easily killed without Defense+ HIPS on.

- Some important options/buttons should be on a separate column (such as in 2.4): update, settings, about (version number is always imporant)

- Have COMODO FW be able to pass all of Matousec's leaktests without the help of Defense+ (since some people don't want it), like how Online Armor is able to do it (as least, I don't believe online armor has HIPS)

- VERY IMPORTANT (to me, at least): have COMODO remember your safe lists and RECOGNIZE AVAST! ANTIVIRUS !! In addition, maybe ask the safelist to delete anything with *temp* in it, since temp is usually for install files... Then again, I see why that might be a security hazard (such as self-installing malware), but have the log remember and recognize it so we don't have to deal with it in the Defense+ lists.

- Finally, fine tune and polish the program, as 2.4 was. Have COMODO FW load fast, have the GUI fixed and familiarized, and have COMODO self-protected and compatible with many programs. Compatibility is a must.

Alright guys !! Thanks and good luck !!

I'll take it...

My issues seemed to be trying to use the Clean PC mode... it was like Ask was broken while in that mode.  Changed back to Train with Safe mode, and it seemed happier.

I must admit... the pending files and safe lists are still a work in progress in my mind too

Also if you could include in the note how we should be installing it... is it like an update (install over top) or a new install (uninstall current version first)?

I don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere.
Firefox and Thunderbird is "network" locked after resuming from sleep most of the time.
Once killed with task manager and restarted they work normally.

I removed Comodo and tried to recreate the issue and haven't been able to.
OS is Vista.

Please send to me as well!  Problems I've encountered are mostly crashes of cfp upon: right clicking tray icon, checking active connections, clicking my pending files, clicking define new blocked programs.  I don't mind, cause I know these issues will be fixed, and this product is definitely worth it!

version 3 did not work for me at all, after I let 2.4 upgrade to 3.0 MatchCad keep trying to reinstall itself, the only solution was to use system restore to go back to version 2.4
